The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

Only after entering the door did Liu Chen breathe a sigh of relief. He looked at Situ Yaorao and said, "I'm sorry for saying that in front of people. I didn't expect that my father would invite someone in. It caught me off guard." Liu Chen said with some annoyance.

Situ Yaorao shook her head when she heard that: "You don't have to care about it. You said that just to come in to eat. How could I be angry? Besides, you have a distinguished guest in your house, but I still come here to bother you. It's my fault." Situ Yaorao said very understandingly.

But what she thought in her heart was another matter.

Liu Chen took Situ Yaorao to the house he often went to, and then went out to tell someone to cook.

After Liu Chen left, Situ Yaorao cautiously walked out, surveying the villa. It was quite large, and she and Liu Chen had only been near the front hall. She figured the City Lord and his men were probably in the backyard. She wanted to investigate, but the villa was heavily guarded. Entering would be difficult, and she could only wait patiently for Liu Chen's return.

"who are you?"

Situ Yaorao was about to return to her room to wait for Liu Chen when she heard a woman's sharp voice. She froze at the sound. She thought to herself, "Oh no!" but she turned back anyway.

Situ Yaorao secretly looked at the woman who came here.

The woman was wearing a pomegranate red dress, with eyebrows like willows, eyes like deer, and pouty red lips, looking like a spoiled young lady from a wealthy family.

"You haven't told me who you are yet." The woman said somewhat dissatisfiedly when she saw Situ Yaorao remained silent. Should she answer or not? If she answered, this girl would definitely continue to attack her. She didn't know who this person was. What if he was related to Liu Chen? Wouldn't that ruin everything? Thinking of this, Situ Yaorao decisively turned around and entered the room, pretending not to see this girl.

Unexpectedly, this really offended others.

When she saw Situ Yaorao enter the room and ignored her, the woman rushed in with red eyes.

Situ Yaorao, who had just entered the room and was about to drink a sip of water, was so scared that she spat out all the water.

"Tell me! Who are you! Why dare you enter my cousin Liu Chen's room? Do you know that cousin Liu Chen hates others touching his things the most?" the woman shouted excitedly.

Situ Yaorao, however, looked calm.

Continue not to speak.

"You're still not talking, are you? Okay! Just wait!" The woman ran out and yelled, "Help! There's an assassin!"

What the hell!

Situ Yaorao was frightened by the woman's scream.

This girl is really trying to kill people without paying for it!

Soon, following the woman's shouts, everyone in the villa rushed over.

Even the head of the Liu family came along. The head of the Liu family was dressed in purple and gorgeous clothes.

Seeing her niece's tear-stained face, she frowned, "Ruyin, what's going on?"

"Uncle, there is a female assassin here. She sneaked into our villa while my cousin was away. She didn't answer me when I asked her." The woman named Ruyin said aggrievedly.

When the Liu family's Patriarch heard this, he immediately said, "Come here, bring the woman out to me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard another voice: "Stop! No one is allowed to move!"

The person who spoke was none other than Liu Chen, who had just returned from giving instructions in the kitchen. Liu Chen had truly never imagined that Situ Yaorao had been discovered by Ruyin after only a short while of being out.

"Chen'er, what's going on?" Hearing Liu Chen's voice, the head of the Liu family became even more confused.

When Liu Chen heard this, his face turned red: "Dad, that girl is my guest."

"I should have given orders that no one except the Liu family is allowed to enter today." The head of the Liu family said coldly.

"She is not a stranger! I... I want to marry her." Liu Chen blushed when he said this.

"No!" Ru Yin shouted.

"Why not?" Liu Chen asked dissatisfiedly. He had always disliked this cousin.

"My cousin is already engaged to me." Ru Yin said aggrievedly.

The Liu family's patriarch also frowned. Ruyin and Liu Chen's marriage was arranged by the family. Now, if Liu Chen wanted to change his woman, let alone Ruyin, he would not allow it.

Thinking about this, the Liu family patriarch looked at Liu Chen and said, "Please ask that girl to come out."

Hearing this, Liu Chen looked at the door awkwardly and said, "Miss, can you come out and meet my father?"

Outside, everyone was thinking their own thoughts. Inside, Situ Yaorao was filled with hatred and wanted to curse. What was going on? She just wanted to quietly investigate the Liu family. What was going on now?

She was wrong, she was really wrong! She shouldn't have used that idiot Liu Chen. She hadn't even used Liu Chen yet, but instead, she was tricked by him. But now, no matter how reluctant Situ Yaorao was, she had no choice but to come out.

Looking at everyone, Situ Yaorao smiled but said nothing.

She is indeed beautiful. The head of the Liu family nodded secretly.

A family like the Liu family should have known Situ Yaorao. However, due to her fame, no one had noticed her appearance. This gave Situ Yaorao an opportunity. Unless someone was from the capital, it would be difficult to tell that she was Situ Yaorao. Of course, if they checked her identity, then it would be possible.

When she thought of this, Situ Yaorao felt that she was in some danger.

Once they find out who she is and why she came to Xunyang, it won't be impossible. By then, the peony flower incident will naturally be exposed. Thinking of this, Situ Yaorao wanted to curse even more.

Situ Yaorao's appearance amazed everyone present.

They secretly envied Liu Chen. However, looking at Ruyin, they all shook their heads again. A Liu family marriage, unless the woman died, was absolutely unacceptable.

"My lady, I don't know what promise Chen'er made to you. But, that's because he is ignorant. Everyone in my Liu family has their own engagement. Chen'er's engagement was decided the moment he was born. So... I'm afraid Chen'er will let you down." The head of the Liu family looked at Situ Yaorao and said.

Situ Yaorao was truly embarrassed when she heard this. Was this a joke? Were the Liu family members actually here to make people laugh?

When did she say she wanted to marry Liu Chen?

"Dad!" Liu Chen's face turned pale.

"Shut up!" The Liu family's head shouted at him, then looked at Situ Yaorao and said, "Miss, where do you live in the city? What's your name? My Liu family is not one to make unreasonable demands. We will give you some compensation."

"It's not necessary to tell me your name or where you live. If the owner of the family really wants to compensate me, why not give me something substantial, such as a banknote." Situ Yaorao is really a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water now.

Anyway, ever since the moment the Liu family's patriarch appeared, she has become a poor creature who can't be with the person she loves! In this case, she might as well seek benefits for herself.

However, the Liu family was unaware of Situ Yaorao's idea.

As soon as Situ Yaorao said this, the Liu family's expressions changed from initial pity to mockery and contempt. Unexpectedly, this woman was dating the young master for the Liu family's money.

This is the thought of most members of the Liu family.

The Liu family's head also had a strange look on his face. But no matter what, anything that could be settled with money was no big deal for the Liu family!

"I wonder how much the lady wants." The head of the Liu family asked calmly.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao looked at Liu Chen standing beside her. Then, looking at the Liu family patriarch, she smiled and said, "How much do you want? Let's see how much Young Master Liu Chen loves me." After that, Situ Yaorao walked over to Liu Chen's side. At a distance only the two of them could hear, she whispered, "How about we cooperate and split the money equally?"

Liu Chen, who had been somewhat disappointed by Situ Yaorao's attitude, blushed. He should have stayed away from a woman who loved money like this. But for some reason, he nodded.

"You!" The cousin of the Liu family was furious when she saw Situ Yaorao and Liu Chen acting like this. The Liu family's head's face also darkened: "How can you behave so unruly in broad daylight? How disrespectful!"
